Definitions

  • the disclosure relates generally to water-soluble films used for contact with liquids, methods of making the films, packets and pouches made from the films, which are optionally filled with active components, such as detergents, to make measured dose pouches. More particularly, the disclosure relates to such films, packets, and pouches with a combination of improved wet handling characteristics, improved cold water-solubility, and suitable processability.
  • Water-soluble polymeric films are commonly used as packaging materials to simplify dispersing, pouring, dissolving and dosing of a material to be delivered.
  • packets made from water-soluble film are commonly used to package household care compositions, e.g., a pouch containing a laundry or dish detergent.
  • a consumer can directly add the pouch to a mixing vessel, such as a bucket, sink or washing machine.
  • a mixing vessel such as a bucket, sink or washing machine.
  • the pouch may also reduce mess that would be associated with dispensing a similar composition from a vessel, such as pouring a liquid laundry detergent from a bottle.
  • soluble polymeric film packets containing pre-measured agents provide for convenience of consumer use in a variety of applications.
  • Some water-soluble polymeric films that are used to make packets will incompletely dissolve during the wash cycle, leaving film residue on items within the wash.
  • Such problems may particularly arise when the pouch is used under stressed wash conditions, such as when the pouch is used in cold water, i.e. water at as low as 5 Ā°C.
  • environmental concerns and energy cost are driving consumer desire for utilizing colder wash water.
  • water-soluble polymeric films that completely dissolve in cold water can be too sensitive to moisture and humidity to make pouches for the consumer market.
  • high humidity or water droplets from handling of the pouches with wet hands can cause the soluble packets to stick together and/or dissolve through the packets and cause leakage of pouch contents.
  • Packets made from some films comprising polyvinyl alcohol polymers have addressed the aforementioned issues with some success.
  • the cold water solubility of some polyvinyl alcohol films may decrease when they are in contact with certain detergent compositions. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the film becomes less soluble due to chemical interactions between the film and the composition inside the pouch. Consequently, as they age, the packets may incompletely dissolve during a cold wash cycle, and may in turn leave film residue on items within the wash.
  • Packets made from water-soluble films comprising polymers other than polyvinyl alcohol polymers may fail to successfully address each the aforementioned problems.
  • a polymeric film comprising starch and/or cellulosics may provide good water-drop resistance. Yet, to achieve good cold water solubility, such a film may have to be so thin that its mechanical properties, including those relating to processability, are compromised.
  • films comprising starch and/or cellulosics are not nearly as readily processable given their relative lack of mechanical stretchability or elongation as compared to films of like thickness comprising polyvinyl alcohol polymers.
  • US 4,119,604 discloses a composition suitable for use in the preparation of cold water-soluble films, consisting of (i) a resin mixture of a low molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol, a medium molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol and a copolymer of polymerized vinyl alcohol units and ester or di-ester units, and (ii) a polyethylene glycol as a plasticizer.

  • One problem addressed by embodiments of the disclosure herein is providing a film that dissolves readily in water, shows good residual moisture resistance, and is processable.
  • High molecular weight PVOH polymers offer comparatively good residual moisture resistance but are poorly soluble in water and difficult to thermoform, in part due to thermal sensitivity of the PVOH polymer.
  • Low molecular weight PVOH polymers offer good cold water solubility but are too reactive to residual moisture to function in a commercial or consumer setting, and are difficult to thermoform, in part, due to pin holing and subsequent seepage when filled with liquids or gels. Described herein is a PVOH polymer system and related film that unexpectedly solves all three problems.

  • One or a plurality of PVOH polymers can be selected or blended by the teachings herein to create an article, such as a film, which is soluble in aqueous solutions.
  • Such water-soluble films can find utility in, for example, creation of sealed pouches for delayed release of cleaning actives or rinse additives such as those found in laundry detergent compositions.
  • Polyvinyl alcohol is a synthetic resin generally prepared by the alcoholysis, usually termed hydrolysis or saponification, of polyvinyl acetate. Fully hydrolyzed PVOH, where virtually all the acetate groups have been converted to alcohol groups, is a strongly hydrogen-bonded, highly crystalline polymer which dissolves only in hot water - greater than 140 Ā°F 60 Ā°C). If a sufficient number of acetate groups are allowed to remain after the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate, that is the PVOH polymer is partially hydrolyzed, then the polymer is more weakly hydrogen-bonded, less crystalline, and is generally soluble in cold water - less than 50 Ā°F 10 Ā°C).

  • the degree of hydrolysis is expressed as a percentage of vinyl acetate units converted to vinyl alcohol units.
  • the viscosity of a PVOH polymer ( ā‡ ) is determined by measuring a freshly made solution using a Brookfield LV type viscometer with UL adapter as described in British Standard EN ISO 15023-2:2006 Annex E Brookfield Test method. It is international practice to state the viscosity of 4% aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solutions at 20 Ā°C. All viscosities specified herein in cP should be understood to refer to the viscosity of 4% aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution at 20 Ā°C, unless specified otherwise.
  • the specified viscosity is the average viscosity for the resin, which inherently has a corresponding molecular weight distribution.
  • the polydispersity index (PDI) of the resin may be in a range of 1.5 to 5, or greater.
  • the PDI of commercial PVOH polymers typically are in a range of 1.8 to 2.3, and typical commercial PVOH polymers may have a PDI of as low as 1.7 and as high as 2.9.
  • PVOH polymers are typically distinguished based on a specified, nominal viscosity and a specified degree of hydrolysis; for example MOWIOL 13-88 has a specified, nominal viscosity of 13 cP and a specified degree of hydrolysis of 88 %.
  • the PVOH resin can have a average viscosity of at least 13.5 cP, 14 cP, 15 cP, 16 cP, or 17 cP and at most 20 cP, 19 cP, 18 cP, 17.5 cP, for example in a range of 13.5 cP to 20 cP, or 14 cP to 19 cP, or 16 cP to 18 cP, or 17 cP to 17.5 cP.
